“Efficiently executed migrations generate momentum similar to a flywheel effect.”
Our Methodology
1. Preparation & Planning
We conduct a comprehensive assessment and discovery of your current environment. This process entails understanding your application and environment inventory, identifying dependencies and requirements, conducting thorough total cost of ownership calculations, and establishing benchmarks for application performance. As a cloud infrastructure company, our meticulous approach ensures that your transition to optimal solutions is seamless and efficient. This sets a foundation and plan by identifying and prioritizing workloads to migrate, with a focus on cloud migration services.
2. Migrate & Validate
We’ll craft the foundational cloud infrastructure for your workloads, meticulously planning your application migration every step of the way. From identity management to organizing project structures and optimizing networking, we ensure a smooth transition. Our team sorts through your applications and develops a prioritized migration strategy tailored to your needs. As a GCP consulting partner, we design, implement, and execute a seamless deployment process to transition your workloads to the cloud, followed by validation and sunset legacy workloads.
3. Optimize & Operate
Unlock the full potential of your business with cloud-optimized technologies and capabilities in this phase. Enhance performance, scalability, disaster recovery, and cost-efficiency while also exploring opportunities for training and integrating machine learning and artificial intelligence into your application. Seize the opportunity to expand your business’s horizons and drive growth with our cloud infrastructure services designed to meet evolving business needs.
4. Opportunity Evaluation
As the workloads are optimized and fully functional in the cloud at this phase, it is the right time to quantify the business case and drive stakeholder alignment towards further iterations of the migrations, starting from preparation to planning to migrate and operate. This ensures your business continues to evolve, leveraging cloud-native applications development for greater agility and scalability.
Our comprehensive approach towards migration helps in finding the most optimum type of migration based on the criticality, customer needs, and the complexity involved in terms of dependencies and implementation details.
Rehost: lift and shift
Lift and shift migration involves seamlessly transferring an application or workload from its current environment, such as an on-premises data center or another cloud platform, to a public cloud, with minimal modifications. This approach prioritizes simplicity and efficiency, aiming to replicate the existing setup in the new environment. Despite its straightforward nature, lift and shift migrations may not fully leverage the capabilities and optimizations of the target cloud environment such as horizontal scalability, fine-grained pricing, and highly managed services offered by cloud solutions providers.
Replatform: lift and optimize
Replatform migration involves lifting existing workloads and fine-tuning them for optimal performance in the new cloud environment. This approach is ideal for organizations aiming to leverage the full spectrum of cloud capabilities, such as elastic computing, enhanced redundancy, improved performance, and heightened security. Our cloud security solutions ensure your applications are optimized with the best practices for scalability and protection.
Refactor: move and improve
Refactor migration involves enhancing workloads to capitalize on cloud capabilities rather than simply adapting them to the new environment. This approach allows for improvements in performance, functionality, cost-efficiency, and user experience. Workloads can be modified during the migration process or beforehand to fully leverage cloud infrastructure management and cloud-native applications development.
Re-architect: continue to modernize
Re-architect migration slightly differs from refactor migrations. However, rather than solely restructuring workload code, re-architect migrations transform how that code operates. These modifications optimize workloads to harness cloud-optimized features like scalability, security, and agility. For instance, a re-architect migration might involve breaking down a large, monolithic workload into multiple independent microservices deployed on cloud platforms, taking full advantage of cloud infrastructure and security solutions.
